SNAP

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) is a nutrition assistance program that helps individuals and families buy food. The program provides a monthly sum on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card which is used like a debit card at participating grocery stores, online grocery stores, farmers markets, and other food retailer outlets.

Every $1 in SNAP benefits spent in the community generates $1.85 in local economic activity.
